Chapter 130: Meeting an Old Man in a Foreign Land
Luoqicheng is the capital of Tibet, with 50,000 households, it is the only political, economic and cultural center of the Tubo Dynasty, and merchants from all over the southeast and northwest gather, and it is the largest city in the west.
Because it is located in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is rarely invaded by foreign enemies, and the guards at the city gate are extremely lax, and Li Tiantu and Yun Mengluo easily enter the city.
The architectural styles in the city are very different, very distinctive, with many pagodas and exotic customs everywhere.
Li Tiantu and Yun Mengluo lodged their horses and luggage in a small inn in the north of the city and walked to the downtown area.
The most talked about by the residents of the city is that the national teacher Agali Ming, who lives in seclusion in the northwest of the royal city, has obtained the Futu relics offered by Goryeo, and is about to use this treasure to practice divine skills, in order to win the Central Plains martial arts.
Li Tiantu heard the news and suddenly felt bad, it is rumored that the Futu relics are left by a Buddhist master sitting on the nameless island in the North Sea, and it was obtained by Goryeo by chance, and it is regarded as the treasure of the town. There are more legends in the rivers and lakes, the Buddhist masters who left the Futu relics are beyond the existence of the heavenly list, and they have attracted countless people in the rivers and lakes to covet the Futu relics, but Goryeo is a royal family, the masters in the palace are like clouds, and no one knows the treasure secret room, and no one has achieved their wishes.
During the succession of the three dynasties of the Central Plains, several expeditions to Goryeo, in addition to the ambition of the emperors of the past dynasties to open up the territory, the treasure of Goryeo's town, the relics of Futu are also a major reason.
Li Tiantu suddenly said in a deep voice: "I want to go to the Tubo royal court." ”
Yun Mengluo, who was beside her, was startled when she heard this, and said suspiciously: "Is it because of this floating relic?" ”
"Not bad. You don't know what this floating relics do to those who practice martial arts. King Agali Ming, the national teacher of Tubo, is already the top master in the earth list, if he is allowed to take the martial arts of Futu relics to a higher level, Tubo who has been silent for many years is afraid that he will really use troops against the Celestial Empire. At this time, the 200,000 troops of the Celestial Empire were pinned down in Goryeo, and if the 400,000 iron cavalry of Tubo were allowed to capture the Western Regions and then march to Kyoto, the consequences would be unpredictable. ”
The more Li Tiantu spoke, the more frightened he became, a grandmaster-level master was enough to affect the fortunes of a country, and it was really terrifying to cultivate martial arts to the extreme.
Yun Mengluo will be suspicious, the border between the Tubo and Chen soldiers is already a fact, is the war between the two countries really decided by a grandmaster-level master?
She carefully observed Li Tiantu and couldn't help but guess: "There are 20,000 elite red-armored iron horsemen near the Tubo Royal Court, big brother, you don't want to follow Xue Qianxun, in order to fulfill my wishes." ”
Li Tiantu smiled indifferently and said directly: "There are two reasons. First, it is to fulfill Yun'er's wish; Second, the relics of the floating slaughter can indeed affect the Great War of the Celestial Empire and Tibet, and the rise and fall of the national fortune is the responsibility of the husband. ”
Li Tiantu no longer conceals his intentions, Yun Mengluo has not much time, and his love is more naked, and he no longer buries it in his heart and deliberately hides it like before.
Hearing that Li Tiantu put the fulfillment of his wish side by side with the rise and fall of the country's fortunes, Yunmeng Luo suddenly felt that Li Tiantu's words made her feel happier as a woman than any love words, but she couldn't help but worry: "I don't want you to take risks." ”
Li Tiantu held Yun Mengluo's pretty face with both hands, and said solemnly: "Yun'er, I have made up my mind." Not to mention that there are two major reasons for this trip to the Tibetan royal court. Even if there were only two of these reasons, I would have a good reason to make the trip. My Heavenly Dao True Qi has reached the Seventh Heaven, and I am still a little sure. ”
Yun Meng Luoton felt helpless, and said unreasonably: "If one day I have a conflict with your compassionate national heart, what will you choose?" Will you give up me for the sake of all the people of the world? ”
She knew that she wasn't asking the question wisely enough, and she wasn't likable to men. Under normal circumstances, the empathetic Yun Mengluo would never ask such a stupid question, but now that she is dying, she has to ask so willfully.
Li Tiantu looked at Yun Mengluo's cute appearance and felt amused, stroked the girl's head and said affectionately: "After all, the people of the country are too far away from me, for the sake of Yun'er, I can let go of everything." ”
Regarding Li Tiantu's answer, Yun Mengluo was generally satisfied. She knew that she couldn't stay in the sky, so she let him go.
It's just that before leaving, he said something that Li Tiantu will never forget for the rest of his life, "Big brother, I'll be waiting for you in this inn." If you don't come, I'll wait a day. If you don't come in ten days, I will wait for ten days, and if you don't come in a hundred days, Yun'er will wait to die in this inn. ”
Since she met Li Tiantu, waiting has become a habit for Yun Mengluo.
Even in Yunzhong Village, knowing that Li Tiantu was almost impossible to find, she still had to subconsciously stand in front of the fence door every day and wait for a moment or three.
And this time, there's hope, isn't it?
Located at the foot of Bayan Mountain, the Tubo royal court is the center of the dynasty's power, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, there are 20,000 red armor iron cavalry stationed all the year round, and the guard is not inferior to the palace of the Heavenly Dynasty.
Except for the central council chamber and the king's dormitory, which are stone buildings, the layout of the entire royal court is similar to that of the military camp, and a cowhide tent with a pointed top and a round bottom is densely spread throughout the camp.
After Li Tiantu saw the layout of the entire royal court halfway up Bayan Mountain, he went down the mountain and entered the camp, hiding behind a small tent on the edge of the camp, at this time he didn't know anything about the treasure of the Futu Relic.
Now it seems that only by capturing a high-ranking official of the royal court can he know the secret location of the Futu relic.
Li Tiantu dodged past a group of patrolling Tubo soldiers, came to a tent with a large space and luxurious decoration, and deeply felt that the people inside breathed deeply and profusely, and he should be a military general with a high status, he directly lifted the curtain and entered.
The back of a handsome young man caught Li Tiantu's eyes, and in an instant, he actually had a familiar feeling.
The man was facing away from the tent door to sort out the case, and when he heard the sound and was about to turn around, he was ghostly by Li Tiantu and pulled out the "Tianshan Snow" on his waist and put it on the man's neck.
The young man was not weak, but he didn't have time to react, he could only watch a white rainbow flash around his neck, the coldness was clear, the man couldn't help but shiver in his heart, but his face was as calm as ever, and he raised his eyes to look at the owner of the sword.
"Benefactor? Are you the Li Tiantu brother of the Kunlun Temple? When the young man saw Li Tiantu's appearance, his heart was extremely excited, and he didn't care about his net worth and life in the hands of others.
Although the person in front of him had changed into a gorgeous dress, Li Tiantu still vaguely recognized that the young man was a disciple of Daluo Palace who had saved his life in Kunlun Temple.
Li Tiantu's face showed a strange look, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Brother Ling can still be so excited when he is forced by someone with a sword, which really makes Li admire." ”
Saying that, he removed the "Tianshan Snow" from the man's neck, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Ling You suddenly felt embarrassed, and hurriedly asked Li Tiantu to sit down, crying and laughing: "The benefactor is a person from the Heavenly Empire, why did I come to Tibet." ”
Li Tiantu was not polite, sat down directly, took the butter tea handed by Lingyou, took a sip and said: "I originally just came to Tubo to travel, and I overheard about the Futu relics in Luoqicheng, and it was for this reason that I came. ”
Ling You looked at Li Tiantu in surprise, as if he didn't quite understand where the benefactor's great courage came from, and said with a wry smile: "If the benefactor is here for the Futu Relic, it is better to retreat as soon as possible." You won't know that His Royal Highness King Ming, the national teacher of Tubo, is in the royal court, and the Futu relics are in the dormitory of the national teacher on the right side of the council hall. Not to mention the 20,000 red-armored iron horsemen outside the camp, His Royal Highness King Agalimin, who is the third of the top ten masters in the first place, is also daunting enough. Ling knew that the benefactor's martial arts were also extraordinary, but if he wanted to forcibly take the relics of Futu, he was afraid that it would be in vain for the first master general of the Celestial Empire, Ding, to come. ”
He said a lot in one breath, and the meaning was extremely obvious, that is, he didn't want to see his benefactor Li Tiantu die in vain.
Li Tiantu chuckled lightly and said noncommittally: "Seeing that Brother Ling is richly dressed and knows the secret place of the Futu Relic, I am afraid that his identity is not just an ordinary disciple of Daluo Palace." ”
Lingyou didn't hide it, nodded solemnly and said: "The matter has come to this, how dare you deceive your benefactor?" I am the Minister of Military Aircraft under the account of the King of Tibet, and I am also the envoy of the Zhenbei Festival. ”
Li Tiantu's heart was extremely bitter, the Kunlun Temple was actually a Tubo minister, and it was very likely that he was the commander of the army who committed the Heavenly Empire after Tubo, and his sin was too great, but if he didn't save him when he saw death at that time, it was not his character. Whether this matter is right or wrong can only be judged by future generations.
The shrewd Lingyou looked at Li Tiantu with a complicated expression, and said like a mirror: "The benefactor feels that he saved the wrong Lingyou." If that's the case, Lingyou's benefactor can take it at this time. ”
Ling You's tone was resolute and resolute, and he didn't even frown when he talked about life and death.
